Hi, Assuming an average message size of 10 KB, and an average of 75 e-mails per day, mailman will be sending out:
0.01 x 75 x 5000 = 3750MB = 3.75 GB per day (i.e. mail_size_in_MB x mail_per_day x no_of_members) That works out to 112.5 GB per month. I suspect your ISP will want to charge you a lot of extra for that kind of bandwidth usage.... -- Baba the Cat www.catbaba.com PGP key at: www.ummah.com/pgpkeys "I have studied many philosophers and many cats.
